Abstract: The Berchtesgaden National Park, in which Lake Königssee is located, is a magical place of extraordinary beauty. Following a primordial instinct, the animals and all the organisms that inhabit it have learned to survive long winters, in which the legacy of the Ice Age is as strong as the thick layer of ice that covers the mountains at the highest altitudes. But with the arrival of spring, nature awakens.

Abstract: The nandu is a bizarre creature originally from South America and imported into captivity in northern Germany, in the region of Mecklenburg. In 2000, a few specimens of this bird escaped and became wild, finding conditions to breed under the curious gaze of locals and tourists. In order to survive, the nandu has to face some difficulties, such as the resentment of farmers, who are tired of seeing their crops destroyed by these so-called "seed-eaters". The local authorities are looking for solutions to the problem of human-animal coexistence in the midst of a legislative vacuum. In the meantime, the nandu, a species at risk in their places of origin, have found a new home.

Abstract: The arrival of the polar night between the North Pole and the Arctic Circle brings about many changes for all species. Not only animals, but also plants adapt to survive the cold, dark winter, adopting special techniques that give them the nickname 'survival experts'. Climate change is also putting a strain on the creatures in the far north of Europe, who now have to adapt in order to make it safely to spring.

Abstract: The diverse and manifold flower meadow – a paradise, a hotspot of biodiversity right in front of our doorstep! „The Meadow – Paradise Lost?“ is an exploration of this colourful habitat. The Meadow appears to us as a sea of colours, bright and variform almost like a coral reef or the tropical rainforest. These grassy spaces host a wide range of plant life, which gives life to and maintains the wellbeing of the earth beneath. With this habitat on the brink, why is its biodiversity so crucial, and how can we protect it?

Abstract: Volcanoes are temperamental, dangerous and deadly. Not the ideal place for wildlife. But Mt. Suswa in Kenya is a volcano like no other: it hosts a multitude of life both above and below its surface. Underground tunnels were formed thousands of years ago by rivers of lava whose outer layers cooled and solidified while the core continued to flow. Once the liquid lava had been completely expelled, massive subterranean tubes were left behind. One of these caverns is the “Baboon Parliament” as the local Masai named it. Remarkably, Suswa is the only known place in the world where olive baboons make their homes in caves. It is an almost unique behaviour among primates that gives us a glimpse into the reasons that drove hominids to find shelter in caves in pre-historic times. Surprisingly, so far, no film has ever been made exclusively about this natural historic wonder. Mt. Suswa’s rugged flanks conceal an untouched treasure trove of biodiversity hidden inside its craters and in the deep and mysterious scars left behind by its turbulent past. But the mountain's true colours are locked up within an aura of mystique: Mt. Suswa is a fortress protected by its own inaccessibility. Its bastions are steep, barren and sharp, discouraging any unwanted visitors. (Featured mammal species include olive baboons, rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas, Kirk’s dik-diks, klipspringers, large-eared free-tailed bats, African elephants…).

Abstract: In 1989, the Iron Curtain between East and West came down. New spaces opened – for animals too. But now the fences are back, built to block refugees arriving from the South. These obstacles violate European laws and jeopardize many pan-European efforts to strengthen animal populations of rare species, such as the Dinaric lynx. In May 2019, two male lynxes from Romania were released in Croatia and Slovenia to refresh the gene pool of the small population in this area. Will they be able to find territories and partners? Are there big enough gaps along the newly fenced border? Will other species, such as the brown bears, also find these new paths? And do the tortoises in the Bulgarian Strandzha mountains stand a chance of surviving, when faced with both old and new fences? Questions that researchers pursue in Croatia, Slovenia and Bulgaria…and in Mexico, too, where conservationists are alarmed by the growing wall between Arizona and the highlands of Sonora. The breathtaking return of both beavers and jaguars is now at risk of coming to an abrupt end.

Abstract: Il documentario ci porta nel Parco Nazionale di Manu nel sud-est del Peru, regione con il più alto tasso di biodiversità al mondo. Le magnifiche foreste di questo parco sono purtroppo fortemente minacciate dal disboscamento, allevamenti, pesca eccessiva, piantagioni di coca e corsa all’oro. La progressiva scomparsa di specie in via di estinzione, come la lontra gigante, è uno dei segnali più allarmanti di un ecosistema che non riesce più a funzionare. Nonostante questo, addentrandoci nella foresta pluviale, troveremo una tribù indigena che vive di ciò che la natura le offre, senza contatti con il mondo esterno.

Abstract: Off the coast of Central Africa lies an isolated island, covered by primeval rainforest and surrounded by dark ocean waters, inhabited by a greater variety of species than nearly any other place on Earth this terra incognita is called BIOKO. The ruler of this realm is one of the world's least known primate species, the drill. Historically revered, indigenous folklore tells us of a drill king who ruled the island’s forests, a place where drills still play a critical role in the health of an ecosystem known to scientists as a biodiversity hotspot. Bordering this kingdom is the black sand coastline, an ancient nesting ground for giant sea turtles and home to natural wonders. This film explores the secret lives of drills and their mysterious island home as we follow a family group and a newborn who discovers this tropical paradise with all its challenges for the first time.

Abstract: Volcanic activity has shaped Iceland’s rugged northern wilderness like no other place on earth; both above and below water. How do animals survive in this harsh terrain? What does it take to live among glaciers, deserts and volcanoes? And how do you cope with waters near boiling and close to freezing at the same time? These are the challenges of living on an island of extremes.

Abstract: Over the centuries man hunted and killed wolves as merciless and indiscriminate killers. They were brought to near extinction in most parts of the wild, where they used to be at the the top of the food chain. Yellowstone, the first national park in the world, was no exception to this. Man created and protected this wilderness, in accordance with what his idealized natural paradise should look like. Yet, there was no place for wolves and in 1926 the last of the wolves were killed off. Because of this Yellowstone was thrown in peril. Without the top predator, the elk population exploded and grazing dramatically reduced the small vegetation throughout the park. In 1995, Yellowstone National Park reintroduced wolves from Canada to the park and within a couple of years, a robust wolf population flourished, doing that which wolves instinctively do, hunting and killing their main prey, the elk. It turned out that reintroducing the wolves was blessing for Yellowstone. With less elk around, the vegetation recovered, providing a new habitat for other species. In the end it was the wolves who brought Yellowstone back into balance.

Abstract: “The Value of Biodiversity – Peru” investigates Manu National Park in south-eastern Peru, which is home to the greatest variety of animal and plant species known to science. This is particularly noticeable where birds are concerned. 1030 different types inhabit Manú, about ten per cent of all the world’s bird species. 228 different mammals have been identified here: roughly four per cent of all mammal species world-wide. The park is also home to countless species of invertebrates. The area is so remote, it is even home to uncontacted indigenous people. Now these magnificent forests are under threat by logging and by drug cartels growing cocaine. Illegal gold mining contaminates the river system with mercury, poisoning people and wildlife. The disappearance of endangered species like the giant otter might not affect us in Europe. But they are signs that ecosystems are no longer functioning: systems which work as a global network and on which we depend for the air we breathe, for healthy food, for clean water. Conservation is no luxury. The basis of our very existence is at stake.

Abstract: Katmai’s extensive sedge meadows are like a lifeline for brown bears at a time when food is scarce for them. They attract Grizzlies in unusually high numbers, forcing them to congregate and tolerate each other in close proximity. It’s a challenge for these notorious loners... and an opportunity for bear researcher Chris Morgan. Able to observe them at close range, he witnesses bear society in full swing, from lonely youngsters getting to grips with life as adult brown bears, to anxious mothers trying to balance getting enough to eat with the security of their kids, boisterous youths ready to measure their fighting prowess, and love-sick males in hot pursuit of females ready to mate. Commentating with wit and in-depth knowledge, Chris explores the private lives of Katmai’s bears in unprecedented detail, and exposes different personalities, strategies and social bonds. It soon becomes clear how individual each bear is, and how adaptable they all are to the challenges posed by the unusual and surprising bear habitat on the Katmai coast. Above all, in order to succeed here, it’s essential to understand the rules of bear etiquette and social order - a skill that is passed on from mothers to cubs through the generations. Entertaining, informative and gripping, Chris Morgan takes us on a thrilling excursion into the world of Katmai’s brown bears.

Abstract: As soon as the days get cold and dark insects begin to disappear from the meadows and fields. Their sum and hum slowly fades away and will finally be gone. All animals have their special ways to survive winter. Migrating birds like swallows and cranes fly towards south, a lot of mammals like deer get a thick winter fur or hide away and sleep where it’s warm. But what do insects do? And why are they all back in spring? This documentary shows how insects living directly in front of our doorstep get through the cold days. In extravagant nature shots the different and most fascinating strategies will be revealed. Ladybugs for example gather with hundreds at safe places and survive ice and snow thanks to some kind of antifreeze mixture in their blood. Hornets let their whole tribe die, but not without having themselves a last rush with fermented berries; only young queens hibernate in the ground and start a new tribe in spring. Bees by contrast collect nectar and pollen all summer long. They need it to make honey and thus heat their hive when it gets cold and feed the whole tribe. However, unnecessary eaters get killed before the cold comes. Many insects are capable of the most amazing things. Just like migrating birds some are able to fly for thousands of miles. The red admiral, a colorful butterfly for example, flies over 1.5 thousand miles high alpine passes to hibernate in warmer areas in the south of Europe. Other butterflies only start hatching when it starts to freeze and most insects have already died or disappeared. Their only aim is to pair and lay eggs. They die without even eating once. Due to high-class macro and close-up lenses, very fine camera work and slow-motion shots this documentary stands up with technically brilliant and high definition shots in 4K. They uncover an outstanding wonderland that usually stays unseen for human eyes and reveal unique and intimate moments from the secret life of the tiny crawling animals. There will be stag beetles with their enormous mandibles spending the winter lying on their back inside a cold pupated hollow deep underground; earwigs giving an impression of their outstanding and touching brood care. They live in breeding chambers under ground, which they defend and care for selflessly. There will be pictures, so unique as even scientists say they have never seen these special creatures like this before.

Abstract: The Scottish evolutionary biologist, John Haldane once said the creator must have „an inordinate fondness for beetles.“ Beetles are extremely rich in species and very successful, as they inhabit earth for more than 240 million years. There are around 380.000 kinds of beetles known to scientists and every year hundreds of species are discovered. One fourth of the world’s animals are beetles. They have conquered almost every corner and every habitat on the planet and they have survived every global disaster. What is it that makes them so successful? The cockchafer seems to be the prototype of the beetle. It owns a compact body; its abdomen and wispy hind wings lay under its robust front wings, where they are well armored. Bugs like the Cockchafer often seem clumsy, however their body happens to be hugely successful. Today we know from amber inclusions that many beetles have hardly changed for millions of years. In the course of their evolution, beetles have conquered almost every habitat. They even adapted to a life under water. The great diving beetle is a great swimmer and a famous water predator. However it needs to get to the surface to breathe. It uses its hard wings like a scuba tank and traps the air beneath its wing case. That makes it possible to dive for around half an hour. In contrast to many other insects, beetles were successful in using every available food source. Some are herbivores, others, are dangerous predators. Some beetle’s larvae eat wood, but they even live on dung and carrion. To keep their food safe, some beetles have evolved amazing ways of behavior: The Sisyphus Dung Beetle can form dung balls up to ten times its own weigh and maneuver them over rough and steep terrain. Burying Beetles can bury carcasses of mice and birds in a sort of crypt in the ground. The film looks at the most successful order of animals on the planet. Due to high-class macro and close-up lenses and slow-motion shots the documentary will give an insight into the world of domestic beetles. It will show fascinating behaviors, which usually stay hidden.

Abstract: The Eurasian water shrew hunts in its mountain streams, black cocks court and the peregrine falcon nests in rock crevices. The Ore Mountain Range offer divers habitats between mud volcanos and cold air pockets. Many specialists survive here: the water bear, an eight-legged micro-animal, even frozen. In the Ore Mountains, genesis, growth and decay are determined by the power of water. It has ground rocks, carved caves and valleys. And it has created peat bogs – important niches for the aquatic diving bell spiders, or the moorland clouded yellow that can’t exist without bog bilberries.

Abstract: Vulcanism, on the one hand a cause for the biodiversity of the Caribbean, also means a great danger. On the islands of Dominica and Guadeloupe, this natural phenomenon has many faces: boiling lakes, toxic sulfur eruptions, bubbling flat underwater volcanoes like the famous Champagne Reef and, in thousands of meters, the black smokers in the deep sea. But precisely because the titanic forces from the earth's heart are so fast, they also open up new niches. In this way, an animal and plant world could emerge which is untypical for the Caribbean, both above and below water. Gigantic Leather back turtles – up to three meters in length - lay their eggs in the black volcano sand. On the steep mountain slopes of the volcanoes enormous frogs and insects, like the over 15 cm long rhino beetle, could develop during the course of the evolution. Almost every one of the deeply incised valleys is home to species of animals which exist only here. Because of these special conditions special behavioral forms could also arise. The sperm whales of Dominica eat smaller squid than elsewhere, dive much more often per day and live differently than their fellow-species in direct coastal proximity. But their population is shrinking seemingly unstoppable. If the development is not stopped, there will probably be no sperm whale in 2030. The same applies to the turtles and the giant frogs, which are still being hunted here. The documentation is not just a journey to these unique animals. The shooting also accompanies locals and scientists who try to stop the destructive developments.

Abstract: At Canada’s northernmost edge lies a remote and barren wilderness, where few animals are tough enough to survive: Ellesmere Island. Ghosts of the Arctic follows a family of wolves as they struggle to raise their pups in this unforgiving environment. Set within a stunning landscape of snow-capped mountains and ice-locked fjords, this documentary offers a glimpse into a world that’s rarely been seen before. At its core, a wolf pack is a large extended family where everyone must work together to survive. Snow White and Alpha – the pack’s mother and father – have lead their family through the dark and frigid winter months, and they now embark on a new challenge: to raise their pups in the brief arctic summer.
